How NEO NAZIS harass 14 year old jewish kids playing soccer in Germany....

‘YOU JEWISH PIG’
Severe Anti-Semitism Hits Youth Football in Germany

By Heike Baldauf

They were two teams of 14-year-olds. But that didn’t seem to matter. Right-wing fans rained anti-Semitic and racist insults down on a youth-league game in Eastern Germany last month. Police are investigating, but it’s far from an isolated incident.

The Ascension Day holiday was to be a big day for the football community in Wurzen, a small town of 15,000 near Leipzig in former Communist-ruled East Germany. The local junior league had a match scheduled with a team from the industrial city of Chemnitz, formerly known as Karl-Marx-Stadt and located near the Czech border.

A number of fans had found their way to the stadium and by the time the whistle blew for kick-off, they were in high spirits, swilling beer and chanting supporters’ songs. The usual horde of young neo-Nazi skinheads and xenophobes were in the stands, looking for trouble.

Then the taunts began. The fans struck up a welcoming chorus for the visiting junior soccer team: “We’ll build a subway from Chemnitz to Auschwitz...” You “Fiji pigs,” they yelled at two 14-year-olds who were subbed in. You “foreigner pigs!” They made monkey noises every time they touched the ball.

They also targeted the 14-year-old goalkeeper from the visiting team: “Jewish pig, go f**k your Jewish mother,” they yelled.

The crowd didn’t just target the visitors. A linesman flagged an offside call, earning him a torrent of abuse including: “Get it right, Jew, or we’ll come and pull your foreskin off.

The former East Germany is riddled with Neo-Nazis.

They keep to themselves for the most part, but occasionally they go on a rampage like these two incidents and innocent bystanders become victims of their thuggery.
